Hi, Doc. I need your help. Gusto kong magtayo ng 10-sow facility. Meron akong nabasa sa isang thread that for 10 sows, one needs 3 farrowing cages, 7 gestating pens, and 6 fattener pens. My questions:
a. Sufficient ba ang above number of cages and pens kung balak kong bumili ng two 6-month old gilts during the first week of each month?
b. Do the gilts go straight to the farrowing and gestating cages upon arrival? Kasi parang very restricted sila eh hindi pa naman buntis.
I currently have 70 finishers, my first batch ever, at gusto kong mag-diversify ng konti, especially ngayong nabalitaan ko na napakahirap daw maghanap ng piglets ngayong buwan na ito, possibly next month also. Having my own sows will hopefully give me another source for piglets, and not depend completely on other people.
Maraming salamat po.
